 We must send our request somewhere, and the global fields section of our skill allows us to specify whether we are sending requests to our own URL or to an AWS Lambda function. It is easier to use the Amazon Resource Number (ARN) of a Lambda function, because we do not have to deal with any specifics concerning how our requests are sent to the Lambda function, we only need to write the code that our function will use to handle requests. We must send our request somewhere, and the global fields section of our skill allows us to specify whether we are sending requests to our own URL or to an AWS Lambda function.

 The Lambda function is where our code is hosted and responds when triggered by the Alexa skill. Otherwise, the function will sit idle and do nothing, making it very efficient for our purposes. With that said, let's take a brief look at our code below. The Lambda function is where our code is hosted and responds when triggered by the Alexa skill.

 In our example, we don't explicitly setup an Amazon DynamoDB table, but rather it is set up by our Lambda function. However, when we created a role with the Identity and Access Management service (IAM) and set it as our Lambda function's role, we were giving our function permission to create that table for us, as well as access to our Amazon Cloudwatch service. In our example, we don't explicitly setup an Amazon DynamoDB table, but rather it is set up by our Lambda function.
